GNO Prescott - A Success!!!

Ellen, Susan, Laurie, Annelies, Modesta, Connie, Darlene, Linda & the 10 passenger  stretch limo!
September 2012 - Item#22 & #24
I hosted GNO (Girls Night Out) at my house in Prescott, Saturday 15, 2012.  We had a great turn out with only one member unable to make the event!  Although I had planned some Friday night activities, it made more sense for most to make it up on Saturday instead.  Some of the hubbys made the trip to Prescott and the couples stayed at Laurie & Mike's house!  Thanks - Laurie & Mike!

I contracted with Prescott Transit Authority for 3 hours of limo time providing them with a map of the places I wanted us to visit.

H - My house  B - Drive around the courthouse square   C - Prescott Resort and Conference Center at Bucky's Casino  D - Lynx Lake Overlook  (Not marked) Watson Lake Overlook    E - The Dells residential area    F - Prescott Airport   G - The Barndest Things (2nd hand store)

Everyone was at my house before 11AM on Saturday.  So, while waiting for the arrival of the limo (1:30 PMish) we played a game, had a light brunch and bottle of champagne.  

The limo arrived around 1:20PM and it didn't take us long to get loaded into the limo.  Unfortunately,there was not as much room as I thought there would be especially with the food and drink cooler! Thank goodness I got the 10 passenger limo for the eight of us. Eventually we moved the champagne cooler into the front with the driver and it gave us more room to spread our feet!

We arrived back home a little before 4PM.  In all of the chaos exiting the limo, I left my phone behind.  Thanks to Linda and Dan for going into town to retrieve the phone!  We continued to drink champagne,  laughed and talked.  I soon began to prep for dinner - BBQ pork ribs, corn on the cob and tossed salad.  After waiting for the sun to lower in the sky, we had a great dinner outside.

After dinner we enjoyed the pound cake that Linda made!  Ymmm... And I passed out the quiz based on the fun facts of Arizona and Prescott I provided during the limo ride!  Ellen won 1st with 9 out of ten correct answers!  Then Darlene in 2nd with 7 1/2 correct answers and finally Annelies in 3rd with 7 correct answers.  Good job to all!

After a little clean up (thank you Modesta) we sat outside and admired the milky way and other stars!  It was a new moon so the sky was very dark.  We had to get out the blankets for the desert rats, but it did make for a cozy setting...  THANKS FOR TO EVERYONE FOR A GREAT EVENT!

Glad you all had a good day. Looking behind all the lovely ladies, that lookout (over the water) looked pretty. And I like the idea of being able to see stars when I come to visit. There is way too much light here to see very many here.
